You walk into your living room after a long day at work and sink into the couch. Zomato is en route, Netflix is queued up, and you expect the movie to pull you into its world. But the dialogue feels distant, the tension never really builds, and before the climax even lands, you’re back to scrolling Instagram reels. 

And before you blame it on your shrinking attention span, think about the audio that fell flat and failed to immerse you. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can go from flat sound to 3D audio, from sidekick to main character, by simply bringing home the magic of the Dolby Atmos soundbar. 

What is Dolby Atmos?

Simply speaking, it’s a new way to experience surround sound. Traditionally, if you wanted 3D audio, you had to invest in a 7.1 or 5.1 channel home theatre. These multi-channel set-ups allowed sound to come at you from left, right, front and behind. But that meant placing a multitude of speakers in all these directions. 

Dolby Atmos, being a spatial audio technology, frees sound from these channels and lets it surround you from all directions, including above and below. So, that helicopter whirring over the protagonist’s head feels as if it’s flying over you, too. And the murderer creeping up from the basement? It’s going to make you want to take a look below your stairs.

Most of us fall for the ‘slim TV’ aesthetic, but what we conveniently ignore is that the speakers built into those TVs shrink in tandem. The result? A subpar TV audio that takes the joy out of watching your favourite movies, as you’re too busy increasing the volume or turning on the subtitles. 

But it doesn’t have to be that way, not if you invest in the best soundbar for TV. A soundbar instantly improves the volume, quality, and range of your TV’s audio. And some even go on to deliver a surround sound experience that replicates theatre-like audio. 

The only catch is finding the right soundbar for your TV, your room, and of course, your budget. But this guide will sort that for you, just tag along. 

Factors to Consider While Buying the Best Soundbar for Your TV

1. What does your room setup look like?

The size and layout of your room make or break your sound experience. So, start by determining where you’ll place your TV sound bar, whether in your living room or your bedroom. 

The best soundbar for a small room

Small rooms only have a limited space to spare, and sound travels faster here. Your best bet would be a 2.0 soundbar that can easily fit your TV cabinet while still giving you the audio clarity and boost you’re looking for. 

Aavante Bar 950 is a great example here. It comes with 40W boAt Signature Sound, dual passive radiators, and connects seamlessly via Bluetooth, AUX, or USB. No messy wires or bulky subwoofers here!

The best soundbar for large room

Now, if you have a larger space or an open concept living room, you’ll need at least a 5.1-channel soundbar. The external subwoofers and rear speakers create a more expansive soundstage, ensuring audio reaches every corner of the room. 

Take, for example, our Aavante Bar Azure Pro. This 5.1 channel soundbar comes with a wired subwoofer and dual wireless rear satellites, delivering a powerful output of 550W. You can even mount it on the wall for a cleaner setup! 

2. Is your TV even compatible?

While most modern TVs are compatible with soundbars, it’s still important to confirm whether yours is or not. When selecting a sound bar for TV, just take a look at its connectivity options. If you have an older TV, the soundbar should include optical input. And for newer models, HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC will suffice. 

Most of our soundbars come with Bluetooth, HDMI ARC, optical, AUX, and USB connectivity for seamless compatibility with TVs, smartphones, gaming consoles, and more devices. Because let’s be honest, you wouldn’t want to have spent all that money on a soundbar that doesn’t even connect to your TV.  

3. Do you care about surround sound?

Not everybody wants a soundbar just to increase their TV’s volume or audio clarity. Some of us are hoping to transform our living room into a home theatre. If you’re one of those people, you’ll need a multi-channel sound bar with surround sound capabilities. In simpler words, a Dolby Atmos soundbar. 

Our Aavante Prime 5.2.4 6250DA is a 5.2.4-channel soundbar that places sound above and around you for a 3D effect. It’s also our only soundbar to come with dual subwoofers; that’s bass that hits twice as hard. If you want a cinematic sound experience, this is the one for you. 

4. How much are you willing to invest?

We’re talking money but also effort. Multi-channel soundbars cost more but also demand sufficient space and time to set them up. Although it’s a one-time expense that will give you returns for years to come. 

If you want a premium soundbar that gives immersive audio but is a breeze to set up, our Aavante 2.1 1200 is the best soundbar for you. This 2.1-channel soundbar pairs easily with Bluetooth v5.4 and comes with a master remote control so you can adjust inputs, EQ modes, and volume without ever leaving your couch. 

The Bottom Line

Finding the best soundbar for TV is a careful consideration of your room size, the kind of TV you have, your sound preferences, and, of course, your budget. But the good thing is, whether you’re looking for a simple upgrade or an immersive soundscape, there’s an Aavante Bar that meets your needs. 

FAQs

1. 2.1 or 5.1 channel, which is the best soundbar for TV?

If you want a cinematic sound experience, a 5.1 channel soundbar is better. But if you just want to upgrade your TV speakers, a 2.1-channel soundbar does the job.

2. Which is the best soundbar for a large living room?

A multi-channel sound bar for TV with a powerful output, like the Aavante Bar Azure Pro, is ideal for larger spaces.  

3. How to know if a Dolby Atmos soundbar is compatible with my TV?

As long as the soundbar supports HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC connectivity, it should be compatible with a modern TV. 

4. Does boAt offer any warranty on its TV sound bars?

Yes, boAt offers a 1-year warranty on all its soundbars. To claim the warranty, be sure to register your product on the official website.
